PALETTE ICON & EXAMPLE
PROPERTIES
The following are the properties that apply to this object. Some are defined in Common Properties and are linked to their appropriate page.
Appearance
| Caption | Even though this property is available it doesn't show up anywhere on the bar. You can ignore it. |
| Flat | If this is checked (set to .True.) the buttons will disappear into the bar and will look like a button when the user passes their mouse over it. The default value is .False. |
| Transparent | If this is checked (set to .True.) then anything behind the tool bar itself will be visible. This only effects the actual tool bar and not the buttons. The default value is .False. |
Behavior
Font
Hint
Misc
Other
| ButtonHeight | The height of each button on the tool bar. |
| ButtonWidth | The default width of each button on the tool bar. |
| DisabledImages | Normally, if you disable a button on a tool bar (set Enabled for that button to .False.) the button image will be 'grayed out.' If you want a different image to be displayed then place the name of the TImageList object here that contains that image. |
NOTE: This must be different than the TImageList object used in the Images property since the ImageIndex property in the TToolButton is the controlling value here also.
| EdgeBorders | This option determines which borders of the tool bar will have a distinct edge. You have the ability to choose any or all of the four bar edges. The default value is top only. |
| EdgeInner | This property, along with EdgeOuter below control what the edge of the tool bar will look like. The options are: Lowered, None and Raised (the default value). |
| EdgeOuter | This property, along with EdgeInner above control what the edge of the tool bar will look like. The options are: Lowered (the default value), None and Raised. |
| HotImages | Normally, when the mouse passes over the button, the image displayed stays the same. If you want a different image to be displayed then place the name of the TImageList object here that contains that image. |
NOTE: This must be different than the TImageList object used in the Images property since the ImageIndex property in the TToolButton is the controlling value here also.
| Images | This is the TImageList object that contains the images that will appear on the face of the buttons in normal use. The particular image used is controlled by the ImageIndex property in the TToolButton. |
| Indent | This will create a margin on the left side of the tool bar before the first tool button is displayed. The default value is 0. |
| List | Normally, if captions are displayed on the buttons (see ShowCaptions below) they appear under the images centered on the button face. If you check this option (set to .True.) the captions (if displayed) will show up to the right of the images instead of underneath. |
| ShowCaptions | If you check this option (set to .True.) the caption for each TToolButton will be displayed on the button face along with (or instead of) the image. The position of the caption is normally under the image. However, if you have checked the List property above the caption will appear to the right of the image. |
| Wrapable | If this option is checked (set to .True.) the tool bar will automatically wrap to the next line if the buttons don't fit in the space allowed. This would occur if the user changed the size of the form during runtime, for example. |

COMMENTS
This object would only be used during design. The actual working part of the TToolBar are the TToolButtons. To add buttons to the bar you would right click on the object and choose either NewButton or NewSeparator. Either option will put a TToolButton object on the bar that you can modify using the object inspector. There are no special editors for this type of object.
NOTE: You can have multiple rows of TToolBars on a form.
